The Fly Fishing Show We were able to get over to the Denver Fly Fishing Show last weekend and snapped a few videos with some of our partners and friends. As usual, we focused more on tying and visiting than filming, but here you go anyway...

Killer Color Combo Midnight Fire Balanced Damsel Leeches come in all sorts of colors and variations within colors, so it's never a bad thing to cover a lot of color bases when you're tying leeches. The Midnight Fire color scheme is one of my favorites that covers a good range of leech colors and the fish seem to really love. Originally shown to me as a chenille color by my late friend Dennis Brakke, I tend to have more midnight fire style leeches and buggers in my boxes than a lot of other mixes. And thanks to our buddy John Rohmer, the dubbing jam master himself, we've got a few dubbing mixes now that feature this color combo. So, as similar to one of my other favorite Midnight Fire patterns we did here , this one is tied balanced style but has a dual color tail with a collar from a recent squirrel mix we did. It's a fun tie, so give it a try. Note that while I use the awesome squirrel dub mix from a previous video, you can also use straight diamond dub in

Because Good Enough... Really Is! In the search for a fly that hits the "bare minimum" standards of being a fly but it still catches fish, this one ranks about a 9/10. Two materials and a dollop of resin and you are off fishing. I have tied this fly in a wide range of colors and even with a lead under body or a tungsten bead in the thorax. I have been on such a squirrel kick lately, I wanted to find a fly that I could tie mostly out of squirrel, but that had some good overall shape and texture. This will be all over in my stillwater boxes, and I plan on using it a lot as a dropper on a midge tip rig. Other colors to try are olive, claret, purple, and black!
